Hello
It seems from the history that you had a head injury followed by bleeding from the back of the head and lump. The lump is because of collection of the blood in the layers of the skin.
Since you does not give history of loss of consciousness the i jury does not seem to be serious. But if the headache is present particularly of severe type this requires examination by physician to rule out head injury.

Thank you
